"Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Aasen and. Mr.
and Mrs. S. C. McAllister attended
the wedding cererpony of Miss Lois
Root, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ches-
ter Root of Powers and Fred Baxter,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Baxter of
San Bernardino, Calif., which was
held at the Bi-etliem church in Myrtle
Point last Sunday afternoon at two
o’clock. Mrs. 8. C. McAllister sang
milk, bogs, eggs, and chickens, was
extended in the secretary’s announce­
ment to December 31, 1IM2, and pro­
clamation affecting other products
were promised in the future if they
are found necessary to increase pro­
duction.
While increased, production of many
products is asked, 1IM2 goals for most
basic export crops such as cotton, to­
bacco and wheat will be lower than
last year, reports indicate. Export
markets have shrunk steadily during
the war, creating reserve supplies in
this country, and it is considered just
as important to national defense and
our future national welfare to hold
the production of some commodities
in check, as that we increase supplies
of others, board members said. Over-
expansion of some commodities dur­
ing the last war brought many hard­
ships to farmers and to the nation a?
Feeder a whole, and it is believed that the
weights bad after-effects of over expansion
may be avoided by making full use
of the farm program to adjust pro­
duction to needs.
Increased Farm
Production Needed
Tlie direction of the U. S. Depart­
ment of Agriculture's far reaching
program to expand production of
much-needed food products will be
handled locally by the Coos County
U. S. D. A. Defense Board, according
to information received by Geo. Jen­
kins, county agricultural agent, who
will serve as a member of this board
representing the Extension Service.
The announcement of the 1 M2 farm
production campaign by Secretary of
Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, calls
for the participation of every farmer
in Coos county in adjusting farm pro­
duction to needs for national defense
in the United States and in the na­
tions resisting agression, local de­
fense board officials said this week.
The board in Coos county, similar to
boards set up in every agricultural
county in the nation by the Secretary
of Agriculture, consists of John D.
Carl of Arago, chairman of the Coun­
ty Agricultural Conservation Associa­
tion, Jenkins, and representatives of
all agencies of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture operating in Coos
county. In carrying out the agri­
cultural program, every farmer will
be contacted under the supervision
of the Defense Board and will be as­
sisted with an individual farm plan
to determine the extent his farm can
contribute to agriculture's task in
national defense.
